Diction and style are two old standard UNIX commands. Diction
|
||
|
identifies wordy and commonly misused phrases. Style analyses surface
|
||
|
characteristics of a document, including sentence length and other
|
||
|
readability measures.
|
||
|
|
||
|
These programs cannot help you structure a document well, but they can
|
||
|
help to avoid poor wording and compare the readability (not the
|
||
|
understandability!) of your documents with others. Both commands
|
||
|
support English and German documents.
